2.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Identification of project and project proponent

Rungta Mines Limited is operating 0.27 MTPA DRI, 0.20 MTPA Steel and 40 MW Power Plant at Kamanda, Sundergarh, Odisha by M/s Rungta Mines

Pre-feasibility Report – for amendment in EC letter of Kamanda Steel Plant 1 Limited. Environmental clearance for above existing plant is granted by MOEF vide Letter no. J-11011/304/2007-IA.II (I) dated 12.12.2008.

The company's vision & mission is to utilise its core values & strengths, complemented with the vast experience gained, to help it keep pace with the changing times and respond to domestic & international market forces by maintaining consistent quality & despatch schedules, making RML synonymous with reliability.

2.2 Brief description of nature of the project

The nature of the project for enhancement is ferrous metallurgical industries and fall under the category 3(a) under the category “A” of the schedule of EIA Notification, 2006.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and/or region

Steel : ’s economic growth is contingent upon the growth of the Indian Steel Industry. Consumption of steel is taken to be an indicator of economic development. While steel continues to have a strong hold in traditional sectors such as construction, housing and ground transportation, special steels are increasingly used in engineering industries such as power generation, petrochemicals and fertilizers.

Power : The DRI kiln operation produces substantial quantity of hot gases, which can be utilised to power generation, further large quantity of waste produce char. So company will also install 87 MW WHRB + 111 MW AFBC based power plant. The generated power will meet the power requirement of Beneficiation, Pelletisation plant, Coal washery, DRI, Sinter plant, Blast Furnace, Coke oven plant, SMS, Billets/ slab / Bloom caster, Flat Round/ Wire rod/ Structural mill/ others, coal washery and Ferro Alloys Plant. Thus, power demand from the state grid will be not be there and will improve the power scenario locally as well as at state level.

2.4 Demand-supply gap

Steel : The Indian Steel industry has entered into new development stage from 2005-2006 riding high on the resurgent economy and rising demand of Steel. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India to become 5th largest producer of steel. It is estimated that, India’s Steel consumption will continue to grow at nearly 16% rate annually, fuelled by the demand of construction project. The National Steel Policy envisaged steel production to reach 110 million tonnes by 2020. So considering the huge demand of steel, this project is important for partially fulfilling of demand.

Power: Over the year electricity industry has made significant progress. It may be seen that average gap between generation and demand in India is - 1.9 %. Power supply positions are given Table 1.

2.5 Imports vs. indigenous production

Import of steel from china had adversely affected the Indian Steel Market and the policy change by Govt of India is now leading to recovery of the sector. There is no proposal for import of steel.

2.6 Export possibility

First priority is to meet domestic demand and will also take into account the large export possibilities if any.

2.7 Domestic / Export markets

Sponge Iron will be used as raw material (in house) for producing steel. The steel shall be sold in domestic market. Steel produced shall be used in domestic market.

2.8 Employment generation (Direct and Indirect)

Existing manpower is 2160. No additional manpower will be required for enhancement of production.

Now company to seek amendment in configuration of pellet plant from 2x1.32 MTPA to 2.64 MTPA Process Description Pellets are heat hardened balls produced from concentrates and natural iron ores of different mineralogical and chemical composition to produce charge materials with improved properties for iron making. The various steps involved in the pelletization process are feed preparation, green ball formation, pellet induration and product dispatch. Steps involved in pelletisation process are as follows and diagrammatically represented below .

 Pellet Plant will be constructed in 2 module of 1.2 MTPA.  Pressure filters (for single module -2 working & 1 standby)

Pre-feasibility Report – for amendment in EC letter of Kamanda Steel Plant 6  Lime stone is ground together with coke breeze in a ball mill and bentonite is ground in a roller mill separately  Iron ore concentrate and additives are mixed in a mixer.  The green ball formation is done through disc pelletizers (6 working & 1 standby).  Main technical parameters of Indurating Machine: Width of Machine (pellet) 3 m Lengthofthemachine 65m Total bed height 350 mm (Inclusive of hearth layer) Speedofmachine 2.4m/min No screen has been envisaged for separation of hearth layer. Large pellets roll to the edges of a pile due to their greater potential energy. This effect will be used to separate hearth layer by natural segregation. An emergency stock pile has been envisaged for storage of excess/ emergency filter cake. Material and energy balance is given in Table 5.

Crushing/Grinding Filtering Travelling Grate

Filteration Hearth Layer Separation Additives & Coke Pellet Stock Yard grinding

Mixing

The filter cake from iron ore fines is conveyed to a mixer where additives like limestone, bentonite and coke breeze are added and mixed thoroughly. The mixed material is conveyed to bins above balling discs. The mixed materials are made into uniformly sized balls of 9-16 mm in the balling disc. These green balls/pellets are screened for size in a double deck roller screen, with oversize and undersize material being returned to mixed material bins. The right size green balls are fed onto the travelling grate of the indurating machine where these are heat hardened. The cooled product pellets are then taken to stockpile.

Quality of pellets DR Grade & BF Grade

The expected chemical composition of DR/BF grade pellets and their chemical, physical & metallurgical properties are given in Table 6. The properties of the finished pellets will vary depending on actual physical and chemical characteristics of input raw materials.

4.3 Topography

The core zone represents nearly flat land (about 560 m AMSL) devoid of any significant drainage or topographical features. The general slope is due northeast with a local depression in the eastern part and over a small area in north.

The study area, a part of South Koel River basin, falls in Sundergarh district of Odisha. It lies on the bank of Karo Nala a tributary to the river South Koel and forms the major drainage system of the study area. The river South Koel flows westerly and Karo Nadi northeasterly in the North part of the study area and both join each other at Goilkera outside study area in Odisha. The general land slope is towards north and northwest.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning concept

Now, company wishes to change the pelletisation plant module configuration from 2 nos.X 1.2 MTPA+ 10% to 1 no.X 2.4 MTPA + 10% without any change in overall sanctioned capacity permitted as per EC dated 06.11.2017 & its amendment dated 08.03.2019 due to following advantages:

 Reduction in land requirement for pellet plant from 55 acres to 30 acres  Reduction in specific fuel (furnace oil) consumption to 18 ltr/ton from 20 ltr/ton. Therefore, there will be less emission due to better thermal efficiency and less heat loss at furnace as a consequence of larger size.  Reduction in specific power consumption to 50 Kwh/ton instead of 55 Kwh/ton due less number of equipment and more efficient use of equipment  Reduction in number of chimneys from four to two  Half the number of transfer points for iron ore and pellet will be required  The structural steel consumption and civil work will reduc

5.2 Population projection

Existing manpower is 2160. No additional manpower will be required for proposed amendment in pellet plant configuration

5.3 Land use planning (break up along with green belt etc.)
